I checked out Dick Gaughan's piece on Peter Bellamy - was really good. I love both men's music, but have no idea about either's political convictions though (except from their choice of songs to play). I guess that's the wonderful thing about music - it trancends all that political stuff (ideally) after all - it's hard to hate someone that you've just jammed well with & even if all that you have in common with someone is a love of a particular type of music, it's a starting point for a dialogue. Also, how do you feel about a great piece of music that has dodgy lyrics? It's a hard one & it depends usually on the individual song but in the end, I'd probably choose to either change the lyrics or not sing the song at all.
